Exploring New England Autumn Beauty: Best October Destinations in North Shore, Massachusetts
We've visited New England once before in the Fall, when we traveled to Acadia National Park in Maine. That wonderful experience has lived in our memories ever since!

Exploring the Land of the Rising Sun: Our Unforgettable Journey through Japan
Japan - the pearl of Asia. So much culture and history, we were honored to visit. Beautiful kimonos, graceful dances, festive shrine floats, and majestic temples. I hope this post helps inspire you to explore this wonderful nation.
